Yup. There are always more mini minis being created around here! This week's featured mini mini was for our
Maritime Modern Quilt Guild swap a couple weeks ago. It's a blind swap - bring one, get one!
I was struggling to come up with an idea when I got to thinking about the
Polaroid quilt I made recently. Honestly, I might now be as obsessed with fussy cutting as I am with mini mini quilts.
First step was to find some wee little things to fussy cut. And they happened to be spring-y in theme!
As often happens when I get carried away with a project, I missed taking a pic of just the Polaroid stage. Suffice it to say that the white strips are very, very small. Since the prints made me think of spring, I went with Kona Peridot, a nice rich green, as my background.
The centres of the Polaroids finished up at 1 wee little inch!
I quilted the Kona Peridot very densely to really get the Polaroids to pop.
For the binding, I once again used
Crazy Mom Quilts' Binding Tiny Things Tutorial. I considered using the Peridot, but thought those little polka dots would liven things up!
For the backing, I used the same polka dots and I used my trusty Pigma pen to sign it. "Snapshots of Spring"... how's that for a name? ☺
How about you? Have you jumped on the mini mini bandwagon? Are you swapping?

P.S. I'm trying out a new (to me) Monday link-up,
Main Crush Monday @ Cooking Up Quilts. Pop on over and see what others are crushing on this Monday!
Oh, I love it, Jenn, and I definitely recognize that bird print. <3
ReplyDeleteYou're basically a mini mini expert by this point. It turned out so cute! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI always love a good mini mini and this one is too cute! I've made 2 so far, one to swap and one to keep. I will probably make another before long, they are so fun! 😊
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...so so cute! Now, I want to make one!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! I've never tried mini minis, but you're tempting me...
ReplyDeleteLoving the Polaroid idea. I have a small piece of Charley Harper fabric which will be wonderful done in this block. You have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! Love the fussy cuts!
ReplyDeleteI'll be doing swaps for the TMQG this year. This is a great idea, what else have your guys done.
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! The polka dot binding was the perfect choice and those little fussy cut pieces melt my heart. Love it! Thanks so much for sharing this on Main Crush Monday!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I haven't jumped on the mini band wagon.....not sure if I'll make it there with all the other projects I want to do :)
ReplyDeleteMini minis are so much fun to make and a great way to try a new pattern. Everybody should try it at least once!
ReplyDeleteI like to have fun with fabrics like you have done here using images in the fabric as a centerpiece. Nice choices and fun blocks. I love that shade of green.
ReplyDeleteI love the polka dots! Very creative idea.
